Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. That said, government bureaucrats from Detroit are calling for the federal government to renew their ineffective gun control laws, reports the Detroit Free Press:

Dozens of antigun violence activists were joined Monday by Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and the city's police chief in calling on Congress to renew a federal ban on assault weapons that is scheduled to expire next month. [...]

"If you live in the toughest neighborhoods of Detroit, it appears that things are going to get even tougher."

Detroit has faced a surge in gun violence in recent months, including a mass shooting during a fireworks show that left nine people wounded.

So in spite of the Clinton Gun Ban, Detroit has still had a "surge in gun violence". And we should renew it because?
